DEEZ Dutch and personal update

So I know it’s been a while since I updated. It’s like when you haven’t been to the gym for a while and you start getting scared to show your face there. It makes no sense but the feeling is just there. However, I do have a reason for my online hiatus namely, we’re moving!!!! While we’ve been working on this since summer it’s now completely official! In December we will start the move and it will be final in January. Our new home is everything we wanted and more! It will have a dedicated studio space for my design work and a working area for DEEZ Dutch.

DEEZ Dutch temporarily closed

For the time being, DEEZ Dutch will be closed. It’s just not practical making mugs in between boxing things. We also had to store away all the equipment for potential buyers during our home visits so that made it impossible to keep printing on demand which we prefer for environmental reasons. Sadly this means we will not be able to make you the most thoughtful gift giver of the season as we will stay closed during the holiday season.

By Lef will stay open

I have been online a lot less on social media to work on new products for By Lef. I have this huge box of painting, writing and drawing equipment, my scanner and my computer and that’s usually all I need for making resources for the shops. So while I might not interact with you much on social media nowadays, I’m probably still lurking at your awesome feed and definitely available for a chat or customer service.

Thank you

I’ll quit this post like I just won an Oscar and I promise the next posts will be less self centered again ;). I’d like to thank you for your continued support! The amount of messages I received during the crazy times of finding our dream home and having to sell our current home have been heartwarming. It was an even greater motivator to sit down and keep designing and that’s exactly what I’m doing now. And to be honest, creativity has never been more fun since your continued support for my work.

Thank you xoxo

About Manon

I became a fulltime digital creative when I stopped flying and became the mom of 3 amazing boys. I have been doing digital design since 2005 when I learned Photoshop. That evolved quickly into 3d design and lots of other graphic programs. It was my main hobby besides becoming and eventually being a commercial pilot.

While going fulltime I mainly turned back to my roots of calligraphy, handlettering and watercolor which you can see throughout most of my work. Now I am mixing them all with my love of floral elements and illustration. I sell graphics and designer resources at various shops with the name 'By Lef'. 'DEEZ Dutch' is my handmade shop with physical products. My ongoing side projects include stationary and greeting card designs, as well as surface pattern design mainly for fabric and paper. Thanks for reading my bio!
